One of the features of a successful Festival is having people to stay. We were chatting to neighbours at the Usher Hall Concert last night, Philharmonia under conductor Sanntu-Matias Rouvali playing Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto with the stunningly talented, Seong-Jin Cho and then Shostakovitch’s Ten Symphony, and discovered they have at least one brother booked in.
Our own first visitor arrives later today via dinner with one of her friends and a show (it’s the Festival) and we have others later in the month.
I don’t consider myself qualified to comment on classical music, but my companion certainly is and he was bowled over. Everyone was intrigued by the delightful encore Seong-Jin Cho treated us to before the interval. If any of you identified it, please say in the comments.

Hi Morna and thanks for dropping in. I’ve tweeted this from the Storytelling page. I had to go there to get the performance time and wonder if you’d think about including that for folk? Good luck with the run. Anne
